Media Credentials

California Poppy Festival™

Media Credentials

Media credentials will only be issued to working media that provide their organization’s press credentials or an official assignment letter from a bona fide media outlet. You must have an assignment related to the 2023 California Poppy Festival. You must apply online; we do not respond to calls, emails, or faxes.

Media Credentials are limited; once that limit is reached no additional passes will be issued. Credential requests must be submitted by no later than April 20, 2023. Requests received after that time are not guaranteed to be processed and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Members of the media who wish to attend any or part of the California Poppy Festival, but who are not on assignment to cover the event(s) will not receive credentials. Freelance photographers not on assignment will not receive credentials.

We do not accept credentials purchased from third-party outlets. Your application must be completed in full or it may not be processed. Please provide us with what media coverage the California Poppy Festival will receive before and after the show.

Credentialed media may NOT bring family or friends while on assignment, nor apply for false credentials to gain access. Issued credentials will be personalized and require a photo ID for parking in the media area and entry to the event.

Thank you for your interest in covering the 2023 California Poppy Festival™!
